Abstract: I shall discuss two programs of research that have occupied much of my time and the time of two PhD students with whom I am working: Samantha Sheppard and Jarred Kenworthy. Jarred and ...

There are five major layers in the Atmosphere. Each one of the layers has unique details. Starting from the earth's surface and working our way high up in the atmosphere, we have the Troposphere, ...

The stable atmospheric boundary layer (SBL) is a critical component of the Earth’s atmospheric system, characterised by subdued turbulence and a pronounced stratification that suppresses vertical ...

Twice a day, at dusk and just before dawn, a faint layer of sodium and other metals begins sinking down through the atmosphere, about 90 miles high above the city of Boulder, Colorado. The movement ...

A new study reveals that ozone transported from the upper atmosphere is a widespread and previously underrecognized source of ...

thermal characteristics (temperature changes), chemical composition, movement, and density. Each of the layers are bounded by "pauses" where the greatest changes in thermal characteristics, chemical ...

We live in the troposphere and that's where weather happens. It extends from the surface of the Earth to about 7 miles up. The 7 mile cap is an average since colder locations like the poles have a ...

A long stretch of humid heat followed by intense thunderstorms is a weather pattern historically seen mostly in and around ...

An unexpected consequence of climate change known as upper atmospheric cooling has finally been confirmed by satellite sensors. While proving the accuracy of our previous climate models, the ...

The atmosphere of Earth, commonly known as air, is the layer of gases retained by Earth's gravity that surrounds the planet and forms its planetary atmosphere. The atmosphere of Earth protects life on ...
